I love that you covered a wide variety of styles here. The Tech21 seems like it has more compression. I notice it more on the low end. The Super Vintage wins for me, but I could see it being a matter of taste. They both sound great in a mix.

[@IvanBassist]

They’re both being compressed the same way, but you might perceive the YYZ as sounding more even due to the clean low end it has. As you mentioned, both are great!

[@Godofigueiredo]

Just want to congratulate you! All the videos are awesome! Keep it up!!!

[@IvanBassist]

Thank you for the kind words, Rodrigo! Saludos!

[@komet1536]

This was just the comparison I was looking for, many thanks!

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks for watching!

[@rawhead66]

Great review..really good bass playing here...! The sounds of the pedals are quite similiar ,the super vintage delivers a bit more low mids and more punch ...quite nice....! reminds me a lot of my Gallien Legacy Amp... saludos a hamburgo ...

[@VictorSemerdjiev]

Bought the YYZ last year after watching your review... it just has that perfect rock sound. Combining it with the Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor was a game changer for me. Yeah, maybe they're somewhat overpriced but these are the only two pedals you'll ever gonna need. Cheers from Bulgaria, mate!

[@IvanBassist]

Happy to hear you’re enjoying your pedal, Victor! 💪🏽

[@geoffreymerrifield5666]

Seen a few of your videos, which are very good. I keep wishing the bass was louder though so I could better determine which tones I like better. Thanks.

[@thewetterbass]

Great comparison! The growl, punch and mid range of the YYL vs the depth and bite of the Origin… yeah, better to have both rather than having to choose!!! 😜

[@IvanBassist]

😂😂😂👍🏽

[@aaronpeipert]

Gawd, you’re playing is excellent! Recently ordered the ‘64 blackface, honestly both pedals in your review sound good, but I say that’s all on you! The origin had a little more Hi Fi sound and the tech 21 is more mid focused with less highs but I’m sure that could all be adjusted

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks for the kind words! Yes, the YYZ has plenty more treble boost available 😁

[@forrestergil]

Great video and really nice playing!

[@IvanBassist]

Thank you!

[@gustavorodriguezofficial4714]

Would love to see your settings on the Bassrig specifically for the Levitating sound sample!

[@IvanBassist]

Unfortunately, I don’t remember what I dialed in, but it was nothing special. A bit of treble and bass boost and that was it

[@negrodavis]

Great video as usual!! BassRig SV vs Tech 21 VT Bass DI pleeeeease!!

[@IvanBassist]

I’m trying to get a VT bass for testing

[@soundwisestudios5340]

I have the Origin Effect pedal and LOVE IT!! Sans Amp sounds nice, but I love the bite and punch of the Origin Effects a bit more myself.

[@IvanBassist]

Great pedals :)

[@jameslitz8571]

I have the di 2112 and the super vintage. I want to like the OE pedal more but the GL maintains a much better low end with the second deep channel.

[@donvape336]

Saved me money. I have the yyz. Great video.

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks for watching!

[@justtheotherdave]

Been A/B'ing bass DI pedals with an eye towards a SansAmp, and here's what I've arrived at: Unsuprisingly, all the Tech21 pedals have a similar bent to them - "mellow" or "muted". The O.G. SansAmp was my favorite Tech21 pedal, but I much prefer the Origin Super Vintage and Laney Digbeth DB-PRE - it's a close call between the two. However, I also really like the Fire Eye "Red Eye" which is a high impedance preamp and doesn't attempt to emulate any amp or cabinet. I haven't been able to A/B a Red Eye against a Super Vintage or Digbeth to see how they compare "clean versus clean" and decide if it's worth running a Red Eye and maybe adding a modeling effect in the effects loop or at the mixer. Any thoughts on this? Anyone got a Red Eye and some other "DI + drive" pedal and could an A/B comparison video?

[@bassman7878]

Would be very keen to hear how your Dingwall sounds like through the Bassring. Glad I found your channel, been following you on Insta.

[@bassman7878]

Ignore me just seen the Marvin Gaye run through. Loved it

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks for following the channel!

[@blankvrs]

Any love for the Bassrig '64? Will you be doing a review of it? How about a comparison of the two Bassrigs? And as always, thanks for the channel.

[@IvanBassist]

Currently trying to sort that out :)

[@Cake_Doge]

very interesting video and I clicked because these two are very different but they both want to emulate a tube sound at the end. I love the controls with the bassrig but I also loved how YYZ pedal was able to provide a good tone while also cutting through the mix every single time, despite being a pedal tailored for Geddy's growly tone. Both are winners.

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks for watching!

[@marg0049]

Great basslines. I'm coming back to transcribe them now.

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks, Kevin!

[@MrFagilo]

Hey, Ivan, how would you compare Noble vs Origin effects?

[@boomerbutler7569]

Could you do a video on the differece between noble and aguilar preamps? (or even darkglass?)

[@IvanBassist]

[@hellocousteau6771]

Damn, that BassRig is something else.

[@IvanBassist]

Pretty cool, isnt it? 😁

[@marciosouza8656]

Man... GREAT Review !!!

[@IvanBassist]

Thanks, Marcio!

[@MarkCharlesLamendola]

you should have done a comparison with OE and Tech21 VT Bass DI that’s a better challenge!

[@robertrosejr1]

Wish you should the settings for both tones

[@francoishtzl157]

There is a Cabsim in every SansAmp tech21 say, but it is really suble to me even if they say every pedal have a multi miked cab-like cabsim, and they change them for every pedal. But it sound way better sometime with another cabsim after it

[@IvanBassist]

I agree!

[@francoishtzl157]

@@IvanBassist I know Geddy lee and other use that direct to FOH Lot do that. Bassist of thy art is murder use a split between b7k and clean sansamp RBI rack direct to FOH

[@francoishtzl157]

How do you prefer the YYZ compare to AO or b7k ? Also if you got those three like I will how do you use them ? Because, i love the tone of all three, i don't "need" them but sometimes I don't know how to combine all these or maybe I just need to use them when I know what tone I want 🤔

[@IvanBassist]

I like the YYZ for a more “traditional” drive tone. The B7k and AO sound more modern.

[@francoishtzl157]

@@IvanBassist I will try do use my B7k too. I just receive the Mp40 (YYZ Limited) and I Wasn't prepare for something that good ! It has a low bump I research since I start bass 4y ago 😂 the b7k blew my away for "low" tuning like dropA because it had a nice tight sound but i think the yyz can do it too 🤔 i like the fatness of the drive on tech21 compare to Darkglass that sound thinner for X serie and BxK serie

[@OsoTheGreat87]

Have you tried out the origin effects 64’ black panel?

[@IvanBassist]

I haven't

[@comannorbert]

I miss the Ultra Lo on Origin, that boost of 40hz and cut the mids (500hz) is magikal for an SVT style preamp. This is the only problem I have with the Origin preamp and the big one, this is why the Origin is not an SVT for me!

[@kevmac1230]

Isn't the Super Vintage about $300 more than the YYZ? I had the YYZ and it was so nice I sold it to buy the more features 2122. I also bought a Bass Rigs 64 Black Panel,super nice.

[@IvanBassist]

Nice. I haven’t tried the 64, yet, but it also looks pretty solid!

[@camlong89]

I prefer the YYZ for sure. Both sound good, but to my ear, the YYZ sounds better.

[@marg0049]

The mids are more detailed and cut better on the Super Vintage. Whether that's worth 2x the price is the question!

[@Jerrythill]

Ivan, how’s the super vintage compare to a noble preamp di?

[@IvanBassist]

Hey there! Many people have asked me this, but to be honest it’s like comparing apples to oranges. Different units delivering very different sounds. If you need the sound of a mic’d up amp > BassRig If you need an extremely solid DI signal > Noble

[@Jerrythill]

@@IvanBassist awesome response. Thanks man.

[@ufo7621]

very hard to tell which one I like the most (I don't own any of them). maybe the SV is more flexible ? the YYZ has a personality and seems to cut through the mix better

[@IvanBassist]

Both are awesome 😎

[@DanielAmorim18]

Which configuration do you like the most about the tech 21 YYZ?

[@thewexican1095]

Was the bassrig actually on, does the led not light up when it's on?

[@IvanBassist]

Yes it was. Those were just HD pictures I found of both pedals

[@thewexican1095]
